My heartfelt condolence.
I am so very sorry to hear of the death of your Beloved Father, Father Joseph Mary. You and your Family are in my prayers.
Be assured of my prayers for you and your loved ones during this difficult time. All of you know that Nicholas is in the presence of God and his angels, but his place on earth can never be filled…..and that is a cause for sadness. But someday all of you will be reunited in heaven!
Padre Joseph mis condolencias a usted y a su familia. Me conmoví la pérdida de su padre .
Usted me ayudo muchísimo .Le pido a Dios que lo fortalezca
Father Joseph so sorry to hear about your father you are in my daily prayers may Our Lord watch over you and your family. My condolence, may your father rest in peace. Amen
Prayers to the family during this time. Our Lord loans us two of his children to be our parents. They belong to us for such a short time. When he calls their name to return home to him, their loss is the most difficult heartbreak we face in life. We are the fortunate ones that have our faith. We know we will meet them again. I pity those with no faith at times of loss. I am sorry for Father Joseph’s tremendous loss, but I like to think that there is a party in Heaven right now. Just like Christenings here. In Heaven they are celebrating the arrival of a new soul.
Our thoughts and prayers to your Family Fr. Joseph
May God welcome your father into eternal rest. May He comfort you , your mom and your family at this difficult time. My prayers are with you and your family.
Father Joseph, I am so very sorry to hear of the loss of your Father. May his soul rest in peace. Our faith sustains us as we believe our loved ones continue to be in Jesus’ hands. Thank you for being a holy spiritual leader. You are truly God’s faithful servant! Peace be with you and your family!

Fr. Wolfe, Am late with my expression of sorrow for the loss of your beloved father. Didn’t know this site was available. My sorrow extends to your mother and other family members.
May he Rest in Peace with our Blessed Lord and Virgin Mary.
Thinking and praying for you and your family
Sorry for your loss Fr Joseph, to your mom and whole family! You are all in my prayers!
Over the years I have greatly appreciated seeing glimpses of your family on Mother Angelica ‘ s live shows, Father Joseph, and watching as you grew into the superb Priest you are — and indeed were — from the start. There has never been a misstep and as a housebound daily Mass watcher for 20 years, I would know! Thank-you.
Fr Joseph our prayers and love go out to you, your family and your loving Father. In Christ Jesus Name Danny and Lillian Glab
Father Joseph–My sincere sympathy to you, your mother and other family members. Losing a loved one especially a parent isn’t easy. Rembering all of you in my prayes as I watch daily Mass.
This is 12-11-2020 and we are concerned that we have not seen Father Joseph Mary since the loss of his Father.
We pray for you Father. We are grateful daily Mass Attendees since the Pandemic began in March. God has blessed us!!
Thank s to EWTN, Mother Angelica and all the Friars and workers of EWTN.
I offer sympathy and prayers to your mom and you for your dad’s physical absence, but we know he lives on in your mom’s heart and memories. And he lives on in and through you, Fr. Joe, things you say and may do will remind you of your dad. You will, at times, sense his presence spiritually. At times, you will remember something he may have said or done that will make you laugh out loud.
We don’t grieve like the world because we know the physical separation is temporary, and we shall be together again.
Until then, you keep doing what God’s called you to do, teaching, preaching, and rejoice in the lord.
Thank you for answering the Call
Lady Patricia Butler

May your dear Dad rest in peace – safely Home! What a legacy he has left in you his son Fr Joseph. I too had an Uncle Fr Joseph O’Neill ofm.cap who is safely home too. He spent most of his priestly life in Oxford and Erith UK. I enjoy mass with the Friars each day since the pandemic. Thank you – how blessed are we! Love prayers and grateful thanks to you all for sustaining me daily. Fr John Paul Mary is a particularly holy man who always stimulates joy in me as he approaches the altar for mass. He has a wonderful gift of preaching. The choir and liturgy are awesome – thank you! Hope they will return in time for Christmas!!
Would love to know the name of the little lady in white sitting in the same place each day – what amazing faith she portrays! Blessings peace and joy to you all during this wonderful Christmas season. Thank you to you all Maddie UK

Having seen this story today, I extend prayers for both Fr. Joseph and the Wolfe family at this time of loss. May God’s grace be sufficient in this time of mourning.
Dear Father Joseph, so sorry for the loss of your father…. I just learned of his passing having researched online. I have missed seeing you on EWTN for sometime and quite honestly thought you were ill or worse. May he Rest In Peace. I am praying for you and your family. You are so eloquent when you teach and say mass. God bless you….
We miss seeing Fr. Joseph Mary. Hope all is well after the loss of his father. Would imagine it was rough on his Mother and him. Saying prayers for all. Have a blessed week.
when is fr. joseph mary coming back to say the mass i miss him
When will Fr. Joseph return to saying Mass also what happened to Fr. Mark Mary on 12/25/20 while saying the Rosary.
My prayers for Father Joseph and his family. I had a feeling that this happened since I haven’t seen him celebrate Daily Mass in quite awhile. He often talked about his family and growing up in Iowa. I hope to see him back on EWTN again soon.
My sincere condolences on the loss of your dad. He is now in better hands . May our lord welcome him and all those who sinced passed into heaven to give praise, thanksgiving and eternal glory. Father Joseph, when will you return, I miss your wisdom and peaceful messages you profess at daily mass😁
So sorry to hear of Father Joseph’s father passing away. I’m sure he has been spending time with his mother. When will he be returning?
Good evening, First my heart felt condolences to Fr. Joseph and family on Mr. Wolfe’s passing. Prayers of peace and comfort for his family. May he be resting in the Arms of our Sweet Lord Jesus. May God send His Angels to comfort his family. And also I am just inquiring about Fr. Joseph as he hasn’t been on daily masses in quite some time. I miss him. I’m praying he is not ill. Has he retired? Please, I would appreciate a reply.

My dear Fr. Joseph.
My deepest sympathy. We have been praying for your Dad since November, prayers for you and Mom too.
Trusting in Gods loving hand and protection you are well & safe. Take care Fr. Joseph.
So sorry to hear about your Father. Prayers for your lovely Mother and the rest of your family. Hard to loose a parent.
Dear Fr Joseph, We were so shocked to hear about your dear father at Sunday’s Mass. We know how difficult it is to lose a loved one, but during this pandemic especially, because it is taking so many lives prematurely. We pray for you and your family at this time, and know that your Dad is with our Father in Heaven.
Dear Father Joseph
Not seeing you on EWTN I thought you were ill. I began to watch your Mass that morning and heard you mention the passing of your father back in November. So sorry for your loss. It’s so difficult losing a parent. Please except my sympathy. God Bless You and your two Families!!!
My condolences to you and your families. I keep you Fr. Wolfe and Father Leonard your fathers, mothers, and families in my daily prayers for all your physical mental emotional and spiritual needs. Please take care. Margaret.
FR, thank you for sharing the mystical experience you had before your fathers passing.
I want to share what I experienced prior to my father-in- laws death. Two days prior to his passing while visiting him in a nursing home, my wife and I, noticed him staring at a corner of his room. My wife asked him what he was looking at . He replied Heaven! She asked him who he saw. He replied JESUS! She asked him what he looked like. He replied PERFECTION!!! Then she asked him one more time what JESUS said. JESUS said “I love you!!! He passed away two days later.
What a wonderful way to die.
I too have suffered loss. My parents and 2 husbands. The love of Jesus got me through those terrible dark times. How do people go through any loss without Jesus walking besides them? The sadness will subside over time but the loss will forever be there. But that’s a good thing. It means they’re forever in our thoughts and prayers. We bring them to Mass every day and that brings solace and peace and a reminder that we will be together once more. Blessings and prayers be with you.
Father Joseph Mary, I am saddened to hear of you loss. Praying for your family and for your dad, Nick.
EWTN is watched daily in our household, keeping all at EWTN in prayers.
Father Joseph Mary,
I did not know how to contact you. First, my deepest sympathy in the passing of your father last year. May his memories help you during these difficult times and God grant you peace.
I am writing to say thank you for your homilies. During this pandemic, I have spent a lot of time watching EWTN. I feel encouraged after your homilies.
Thank you for being bold enough to speak about Dr. King and black Nuns who have made a difference in the Catholic faith. J was raised Baptist. I had a wonderful Christian up bringing. I knew from an early age that my calling was to be part of the catholic faith. So I became catholic. It is difficult sometime. I live in Edwardsville Il sometime feel not welcome. I love Jesus, so I am staying with the Catholic faith.
Thank you again for your boldness.
God bless you.
.
Dear Fr. Joseph:
Your tribute to your dad was so moving and a blessing. It reminded me of the love of Christ our parents shared with us by bringing us as children to His knowledge and love. For this at the very least they have earned a place at Our Lord’s banquet. God Bless.
Dear Father Joseph,
God be blessed!
My name is Diana, we use to go every year to EWTN and the Shrine with Fernando peregrinations from
Miami, I’m sorry about your father and I’ll pray from him.
Father you pray for my son one time outside the Shrine when he was crying so loud for he fell and hit in his head, I hope you remember that.
I was prying the Rosary with you from the TV and I saw a lot of Priest in the white ornaments for the adoration be transport to the sky, they are many and the star leaving the earth from the adoration to the sky.
Please father I need to talk to you, please if is possible you could write to me for I can know where I call you, thank you! Thank you for all of you gives to us!
I listened to your sermon on Jan. 26 on St Francis Xavier Basilica in Dyersville and Loras College. My granduncle, Fr. Matt Hoffmann, was the pastor when St francis Xavier was made into a basilica in 1956. He taught economics for many years at Loras. Another granduncle, Alois Hoffmann, donated funds to refurbish Hoffmann Hall at Loras College. The dedication of this church was in Life Magazine possibly in December of 1956.
I appreciated this sermon and hope to hear from you.
Keep the peace of the Lord,
Dr. Joseph L. Thimes
Thinking of you Father Joseph Mary. Prayers for your Dad and family. Much PEACE.
